EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures the charming personality of Harry Tate, a renowned comedian and music hall entertainer of the early 1900s, posing proudly next to his MMC veteran car. The MMC, or Motor Car Manufacturing Company, was a pioneering automobile producer based in Coventry, England, which gained popularity for its innovative designs and high-quality vehicles. The era of the late Victorian and Edwardian periods was a time of significant advancements in motoring technology, and Harry Tate's possession of this veteran car showcases his affluence and modernity. Wearing a dapper suit and hat, Tate exudes an air of sophistication, while the lantern slide projector and stack of slides next to him hint at his other profession as a popular music hall entertainer. The MMC veteran car, with its elegant design and vintage charm, complements Tate's striking presence in the photograph. The vehicle's open top and exposed engine add to its allure, making it a desirable possession for those who appreciated the thrill of early motoring. This photograph, taken from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of the wealthy and famous during the early 1900s. It not only showcases the elegance and charm of the era but also highlights the intersection of entertainment and technology during this fascinating period in history.
